Pokémon GO is celebrating its first birthday in many parts of the world and the latest event celebrates the occasion. The special anniversary event is active from July 6th (today!) to the 13th, so don’t wait to take advantage of it!
Players will be able to find Ash Hat Pikachu and catch it for their collection. Anime fans may be especially interested after watching almost 20 years of Ash Ketchum’s journey to become a Pokémon Master.
In addition, special sale packages (called “Anniversary Boxes”) will be available to purchase and include many helpful items at a discount.
Are you pumped to catch another Pikachu? Or will you be giving this event a pass?
This movie has me so worked up….
go vent on your blog
I’m actually really stoked to see it for myself. I think the only part that will disappoint me is that none of what they’re showing in the movie will make it to USUM. (Minus Marshadow) Normally the movies are supposed to show off what’s to come, but seeing as this one is all about Kanto/Johto and it’s unlikely USUM will have anything crazy new (other than prolly new Alolan forms) It really is leaving me with a weird feeling. I’ve never been more excited for the movies than I am for the games lol
But marshy….
Is a date for news really too much to ask? As much as I’d hate it I’d take them saying right now that news will be coming on X date next month. It might be a far away day, but at least then we’d have a concrete date to look for. Right now we’re just floating around. It’s the worst way to go. You can float around in between releases, but once they announce something they need to give us stuff. Floating around with no knowledge is one thing, but floating around with some knowledge is terrible lol
why the fruk am i watching Madagascar 2……….
Because like always you’re bored. This time you just so happen to have the tv on lol
but of all things to pick i pick Madagascar 2…..its not even the good one, although it does have my mating song
The best Madagascar film is the Penguins of Madagascar.
Love dem penguins
The Piplups of Lanakila! A Pokemon parody
That would be cool. They are the only part of those film I really like tbh.
Hey did anyone read my theory below? If not I want to repost
My interesting theory. You know how rumors are pointing at USUM being in an Alternate timeline and 1 year in the future? Well I believe that maybe it is an Alternate time, but 1 year before the events.
Some reasons why I believe this is the fact of what seems to be Totem Lycanroc and Togedemaru. This makes you wonder Olivia is pretty young looking so maybe she a year before wasn’t a Kahuna, but a Trial Captain explaining the Lycanroc. And you in Sun and Moon are Sophacles first challengers meaning he wasn’t a Captain then, but want to know who was? The Steel Captain and, Togedemaru is a steel type so could be a coincidence or maybe not. Also that would be neat cause then we could see Hapu’s Grandpa as the Kahuna since he had past away recently not a year ago so he would be alive.
So what do you think?
I think this could be interesting, but I feel the problem is it might not offer much in the way of moving forward. If they are doing a game set in the past I want it distant past, perhaps in the time of the War AZ was part of, or even before that, where fossil Pokemon are alive and roam free. Of course that would probably require time travel in the game so you can still have Pokeballs. Maybe they could do a Ranger game like that.
Hmm Pokemon prehistoric version… uses special devices found in particular rocks… I was working on a new Pokemon game idea aside from my main stuff and you just hit the nail in the coffin for the idea! Thanks man!
NP, I think it could be interesting as a concept. The only issue you might have is either having a large dex of existing ‘mon or fakemon surviving as they are into present day. You can probably have some species like Sandile go believably unchanged though. I look forward to hearing what you come up with 🙂
Yeah and probably most of the fossils will be slightly redesigned and changed out of rock like Kabuto line being Bug/Water or something
Yeah, I was thinking about that, on the one hand it is probably the fossilisation process that gives them their rock typing, but I also wonder if they might’ve had it anyway. I do think Cradily might’ve been Grass/Water and Armaldo Bug/Water. Don’t really want loads of part water stuff though maybe? I can see Kabutops being Water/Steel. As long as they still make sense and you don’t suddenly add like Flying to Bastiodon or something you’ll probably be fine. Also you can have Relicanth as it is one that has remained unchanged.
am i the only one who doesnt care when usum news comes if it comes?
Meh I’m divided
50%- no news at all
50%- A tiny bit of news to understand what “New Pokemon” meant
i guess same for me. because i think people are interpreting new pokemon too much. i dont see it being new evolutions or anything. IF there is anything new my best bet is johto alolans cuz of september releasing GS on vc like they did with rby. they will be allowed to go into bank but thats it. i dont remember any case where they added new pokemon. they added forms like black and white kyurem in bw2 but no new pokemon
but regardless. im just not too excited for usum. id rather just get on to gen 8
I more wanna know New variants? Pokemon in general? New forms? Or what?
i dont think new pokemon at all. i think forms as we have already seen and possibly alolan forms of johto thats it
I swear if its just The box legends with necrozma as what they meant I’m going to lose it
why? it would be exactly the same as kyurem
But did they say anything about new Pokemon for BW2 in the trailers? Cause yeah saying something along what they said then just throwing two Pokemon forms in is a little deceitful to me
i dont remember them saying it explicitly. more like “pokemon not seen in sun and moon” dont overthink it tbh.
Hmmmmm do you enjoy currently breathing and or whether or not you continue to
i dont quite get what you mean
i’m saying that if you don’t want USUM news its clear you don’t want to keep breathing
nope they arent mutually exclusive. one has nothing to do with the other.
Fair enough, I’ll come back with another excuse to crush your windpipe
ok good luck finding one
Methinks you doubt my reasoning for violence
what reasoning?
Exactly *throws a gigantic boulder*
you missed
Fine *kicks heel into the dirt opening up a large fissure underneath your feet*
to quote pokemon. “but nothing happened!”
Having some more news would be nice, but I’ve got a lot going on now so I don’t really care.
yeah i agree but its also just my lack of excitement for usum. the reveal trailer didnt catch my attention. as ive mentioned when they first showed the trailer, i dont like what solgaleo and lunaala look like with necrozma parts. i dont like the concept
I thought Lunala/Necrozma looked kinda neat. I don’t care much about the rest. I’d probably like them more if they pulled a B2W2 — I really liked seeing the region change that much. At this point most of my hype is centered around the possibility of the pokedex being updated; I really want to use an Ambipom for some reason.
i would like stat buffs like they did with gen 6. would be fun to throw some cool pokemon into meta
I’d like to know we are getting a significant amount worthwhile of buying the games, but I’m not too fussed on knowing exactly what that contains.
Star you might want to here this… in a new set in Japan Manaphy and Palkia are in the set and probably Dialga too so… Sinnoh confirmed?
And Shiny Jirachi is in it too
What’s this for?
A new Pokemon card set thats either out or coming
Oh, I do enjoy the card artwork.
Idk man…..the tcg always does stuff that has nothing to do with the rest of the franchise. If they were gonna start focusing on the next big thing it wouldn’t be until after USUM come out. The sets leading up to USUM are mostly about the guardians/Marshadow/Necrozma. All of them make sense. It doesn’t make sense for them to focus on the Sinnoh trio. I’d be willing to bet they’re just extra cards. They may get special cards like GX’s or something, but that doesn’t mean a new game is coming soon. We still have USUM before that.
Yeah just a tid bit that I thought would rile Star up
You’ve got to be kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen remakes hinted at so strongly before their reveal. In fact, since lots of people think it will be out in two years or more, it just doesn’t add up. It would be so bizarre if they advertised Sinnoh this much and then slid a whole new generation under our noses, with Sinnoh coming afterwards.
NOTE
Apparently the next SU episode is called Reunited and will be a 22 minute special
Additionally rumor says it comes out this month
hmm. now that you mention it i think i actually heard about this a few days ago. theres always comicon to show us something new cuz why not. they did it in the past
Title seems fitting, will probably be just Steven relaying what happened on Homeworld and some other stuff
I’d think
Well i went out today but it seems the anniversary event didn’t activate… because there was a wild regular pikachu and there was no option to buy the anniversary packs.
Yeah from what I’ve seen on Twitter there was a problem with their roll out. I’d be willing to bet once they get it fixed they’ll add a few days onto the time period to appropriately compensate for the time lost.
I think I’m going to head off to bed now and since my surgery is tomorrow I’ll see y’all Saturday or Sunday (if really unlucky)
So good night and see ya!
night
Wait what surgery? Hope you’re OK.
Nah it’s just my Wisdom Teeth being removed so a minor surgery only
Oh, well I hope it goes well. I still have my Wisdom teeth.
Mine are decaying as we speak
Seraphu-kun… has a fever… something feels wrong… REALLY wrong
That’s not good 🙁 I hope you get better
Thank yuuuuuu
Hope all goes well with your teeth too
Stand back I’m a doctor more or less
Is…is it https://youtu.be/xsezrzS27UY?t=39
But seriously, hope you feel better.
Thanks man… means a lot :3
In all seriousness take aspirin or Advil and dry to drink as much water as you can, hydration is key for dealing with a fever, and try to get a grip on your situation
You could be thinking it’s worse then it might be and the anxiety pings on that and really plays with your mind
Take a cool shower and just try to relax and take your mind off it
Kay… thanks a ton Earthen
As you grow older, getting sick loses its merit rather quickly. Hope you get better soon.
Thank yuuu
I hope seraph senpai
Is ok oops
It’s okay Starry-chan… I’m scared tho
I forgot how tough Nanu is. I am currently fighting against him in my Sun Nuzlocke. I remember he took out half my team when I played against him in Moon. Right now I am barely keeping all of my team alive.
With a few close calls I was able to defeat Nanu with my entire team intact.
-Feitan the Skarmory
-Alluka the Shiinotic
-Biscuit the Wishiwashi
-Gon the Golisopod
-Neferpitou the Incineroar
If you are wondering why I only have 5 Pokémon on my team at this point in the game. Every other Pokémon I have had has passed away.With only a few Routes left, I am hoping that I will be able to keep a team of 6 Pokémon before I reach the Pokémon League.
Well good luck, here’s hoping your next ‘mon is a strong one.
Thanks. I have been quite busy and when I have had time to play I was too usually too engaged to bother posting. There were times even when my Pokémon were overleved compared to my opponents they met an unfortunate end. Especially two separate occasions with my Clefairy fainting to a self-destruct and a Komala Flailing my Ribombee to death’s embrace.
That is a pain, especially when you’ve become attached to them. Rest peacefully Pokemon passed.
It’s something that you often don’t get too upset over outside of Nuzlocke, the odd unexpectedly powerful move fainting your Pokemon.
Does your Skarmory have Sturdy?
Luckily yes. Unluckily its nature reduces its defense. Nevertheless he has so far has real staying power on my team. It also helps teaching them TMs for coverage.
Spider-Man Homecoming is really good would recommend
Agreed. I saw it Wednesday. I thought everyone was really good, even if Flash Thompson seemed nerdier than Peter imo. The bit at the end seems kind of stupid MJ, whom I hope they retcon or gloss over it and introduce one closer to the comics actually called Mary Jane . Really liked Tom Holland as both Peter and Spidey, Michael Keaton was also a great villain,
What bit at the end?
I thought the villain was fantastic. I loved how he slowly began to realize he was Spider-Man. It even took me a second to realize he was the villain. That elevator scene was also tense as fuck. This year has had amazing super hero movies.
The bit where Michelle says she’s MJ, which is meant to make you think she is Mary Jane. It’s almost like they have this odd fear of using characters who appeared in previous movies, like Jameson, Gwen and Harry. The elevator scene was so good. I also like the instant kill mode Karen (computer lady) kept trying to turn on. Also Ned, I feel like I want a Ned as a friend Yeah good movies, I hope it continues and Thor Ragnarok and Justice League are good too.
